OCCAM Summer Internship 2010 – OCCAM Mathematical Institute

The Oxford Centre for Collaborative Applied Mathematics (OCCAM) is offering internships to carry out short research projects in Oxford for a period of up to 10 weeks during the summer vacation. The bursaries are for mathematicians who are undergraduates in their middle years and those between their undergraduate degree and a Masters course, and provide an excellent opportunity to gain first hand research experience and find out whether you might be suited to a research career.

Eligibility: To apply you must be
· Registered at a recognised higher education institution;
· In the middle years of an undergraduate degree, or between an undergraduate degree and a Masters degree;
· Able to commit to undertaking a research project over the summer vacation and be based in Oxford throughout its duration.
Awards: Each internship provides a bursary of £180 per week for the duration of the project, up to £200 for research expenses associated with the project and up to £500 for travel to Oxford. Interns will be given desk space and computing access in OCCAM and will receive assistance in finding accommodation. Should candidates of sufficient calibre apply, we anticipate making 4 or 5 appointments.

Application Procedure: Applicants should fill in the online application form (https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/groups/occam/vacancies/summer-internships-2010) before the deadline of 12 noon UK time on Tuesday 2 March. Applicants are also responsible for ensuring that a faculty member at their current institution sends an academic reference to occam-admin@maths.ox.ac.uk by the same closing date. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

Application Deadline: The deadline for applications is noon UK time on Tuesday 2nd March 2010.
